Chemicalblue Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 How does that bond on to the car? Do you cut away the old fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 most of my old fender will be cut and patched i dont plan on cutting it away im sure you could but i see huge rust problems if that goes open. as far as bonding it i am going to glass it on and use some kind of adhesive in the back but theres not many places to grab beings its wider then the fenders now i get to shave the rear again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yeh the void by the door could go, the only dressing up a S130 needs is front and back. Pity you can't cut away and repair the rear quarters, should look good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinhZXT Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The wide fenders look good. The big problem I see is what do you plan to do with the back to make it look complete with that wide body? I know you don't want to hear this but you will have to cut the bottom of the 1/4 fenders off. You can cut the outter skin and then fold the inner skin over the outter one and weld it shut. After installing the wider fender you will need to completely seal the gap between the old fender to the newer one to prevent rusts. GL.

Also, look into bonding the pc. to the car using SMC glue. It's kinda expensive but not really for what it does. A little goes a long way. You can get it in cans or in tubes like caulk. SMC is what they glue all the panels on cars like the corvette with. It will stop the tendency for the fiberglass work you do to crack and separate later down the road. It’ gonna look GREAT!
